condensation.
Name CAS Proportion Ingredients
100 % 8008-20-6 Kerosine, petroleum
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation
Remove the source of contamination or move the victim to fresh air. Ensure
airways are clear and have qualified person give oxygen through a face mask if
breathing is difficult. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Ingestion
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Wash out mouth with water and give plenty of water to
drink. Where vomiting occurs naturally have victim place head below hip level
in order to reduce risk of aspiration. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable.
Remove heavily contaminated clothing and wash underlying skin. If irritation
occurs seek medical advice.
Eye
If contact with the eye(s) occur, wash with copious amounts of water for
approximately 15 minutes holding eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse
contaminated water into the non-affected eye. In all cases of eye
contamination it is a sensible precaution to seek medical advice.
First Aid Facilities
Eye wash and normal washroom facilities.
Advice to Doctor
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach
contents, and can cause severe and potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis,
which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration,
induction of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided.
Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal intubation.
Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire Fighting
Measures
For major fires, call the Fire Brigade immediately. Ensure an escape path is
always available from any fire. There is a risk of flashback if sparks or hot
surfaces ignite vapour.
In case of fire, use foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, vaporising liquid or
water delivered as a fine spray. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing
approved breathing apparatus.
Water may be used to cool nearby heat exposed areas/objects/packages.
Avoid spraying directly into storage containers because of the danger of
boil-over.
Hazards from
Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this MATERIAL SAFETY DATA Sheet.

In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good
ventilation.
Wear protective equipment. (See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, Section
8 of this MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET for details)
Contain and recover liquid using sand or other suitable inert absorbent
material.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in
quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage which may be reasonably
anticipated.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery. Clean up spilled material

immediately.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination.
Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg.
along drainage systems, in basements, etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and
check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of
suitable barrier equipment. Recover product from the surface.
Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In case of spillage at sea, approved dispersants may be used where authorised
by the appropriate regulatory authority. In the event of spillages, contact
the appropriate authorities. Regular surveillance on the location of the
spillage should be maintained.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe
Handling
Ensure good ventilation and avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, the
inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or fumes which may be generated
during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration
in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable
level.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face
visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Avoid skin contact. Good working practices, high standards of personal hygiene
and plant cleanliness must be maintained at all times.
Do not siphon product by mouth. Keep out of reach of children.
Whilst using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into
pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.
Conditions for Safe
Storage
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of
ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with the product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers. Empty packages may retain
residual product; retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
their safe handling, storage and disposal.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has
been well ventilated and the tank atmosphere has been shown to contain
hydrocarbon vapour concentrations below 1% of the lower flammability limit and
an oxygen concentration of at least 20% by volume.
Always have sufficient personnel standing by outside the tank with appropriate
breathing apparatus and equipment to effect a quick rescue.
Other Information
Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. These can
cause flammability/explosion hazards, even at temperatures below the normal
flash point.
Tank headspaces should always be regarded as potentially flammable and care
should be taken to avoid static electricity discharge and all ignition sources
during filling, ullaging and sampling from storage tanks. Hoses should be
electrically continuous.
Ensure equipment used is properly earthed or bonded to the tank structure.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above the flash point but bulk
liquids at normal storage temperatures present a low fire hazard.
If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the
vapour and/or mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
Product soaked rags, paper or material used to absorb spillages, represent a
fire hazard and should not be allowed to accumulate. Dispose of safely after
use. Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain remaining
flammable residues and vapour.
Do not weld, heat or drill the container. Do not introduce an ignition source.
Heating may cause an explosion.

Chronic Effects
Middle distillate: From skin-painting studies of petroleum distillates of
similar composition and distillate range, it has been shown that these types
of materials often possess weak carcinogenic activity in laboratory animals.
In these tests, the material is painted on the shaved backs of mice twice a
week for their lifetime. The material is not washed off between applications.
Therefore, there may be a potential risk of skin cancer from prolonged or
repeated skin contact with this product in the absence of good personal
hygiene. This particular product has not been tested for carcinogenic
activity, but we have chosen to be cautious in light of the findings with
other distillate streams.

Occasional skin contact with this product is not expected to have serious
effects, but good personal hygiene should be practiced and repeated skin
contact avoided. This product can also be expected to produce skin irritation
upon prolonged or repeated skin contact. Personal hygiene measures taken to
prevent skin irritation are expected to be adequate to prevent risk of skin
cancer.
